REFERRING to the letter “Perfect nurses but doctors found wanting” (The Star, Aug 30), I do have the same concern over some doctors in our public health system.

Our public hospitals and healthcare centres are the major healthcare service providers for the majority of Malaysians seeking affordable care, and we cannot compromise on the quality of care rendered.

Recently, some of my friends who consulted a few public hospitals complained to me that they had been seen by arrogant doctors who were very bad in their communication and interpersonal skills.

Furthermore, in certain hospitals, the privacy of patients was not taken into consideration during consultation in outpatient clinics.

I personally know that in one public hospital in the northern region, two or three patients are seen in a consultation room at the same time during a clinic day. This can be a really embarrassing and daunting session for some.

Understanding patient psychosocial behaviour is important, and subjects related to this area are always taught in medical and health-related courses. Yet some practitioners still do not incorporate what they have learned in their daily practice.

Healthcare providers also need to understand that the expectation of patients to public health service has changed over the years. The new generation of patients are better educated and they also expect healthcare professionals to be more sensitive to their healthcare needs.

If we look closely at public health service provision in developed countries, good patient healthcare professional communication is always part of good care provision practice. And patients are also engaged in any decision-making process.

In Malaysia, we seldom see this. Most of the healthcare providers believe they know everything and sometimes fail to understand the actual underlying problems with their patients because they were not attentive to what the patient had to say.

This in turn will have a negative impact on patient treatment outcomes. Therefore, it is imperative that the Health Ministry ensures that the healthcare professionals hired must be more attentive to their patients’ needs and engage them in any decision-making process in order to achieve good health outcomes.

Otherwise some slogans that I saw in hospitals, such as “All for quality and quality for all”, are just for the sake of exhibition.

"It is not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit, and continue to move forward!"

I was influenced by the sentence above and i shall bear this sentence with me for the whole life.

In life, it is not about how tough we getting through, how many unwanted challenges that we might face, but it is about how we face them, how we overcome them and continue to move forward.

Life is all about making the right choice. I believe that all of you have heard about commenting about "getting out of your comfort zone". There is no way we can achieve different results by doing the same routine. The same doors lead to the same results. I totally agreed with the sentence and it is really great for us to do something that we never do before, to speak to some one that we never speak to before, to lead a crowd full of strangers, to get out of our comfort zone!

Have you heard about "Purpose Driven Life"?

Always focus on why you are doing something for someone instead of how you are going to do that!

Stay focus, it is just like a laser beam that can get you through any obstacles to achieve your goal!

We must decide what the outcomes we desire in order to start taking actions.

When we focus on what we want, we get the power to act.

Every successful people know exactly what they want. The first step is to decide what their goals are. But most people doesnt know clearly what they want in life. You often hear people say "i dont know what i want, it is not the time to decide yet". or they know what they want, but they dont take action.

Number two, get yourself to take action! How do you begin? Decision is your key power to act. When you clearly have strong desire, you will begin to take action.

Successful people fail more than anybody else. Average people are afraid of the fear of failure and the fear of rejection.

What about you? What do you do when you fail? when you fall down? when you encounter problems that slow you down from where you intended to go? Do you aware that failure can be your best friend? As long as you learn something out of it, there is no failure in it.

Number 3, notice the outcomes from your action. Take note of what is working and what is not working. Remember flexibility is power - you can always change your approach to obtain your goals. When something does not work, try something else.

How long does it take for an average baby to learn walking? What do you say to the baby when he falls? What happen if he fail again and again?

Number 4, use role modelling to accelerate you to achieve your goal. If you want to become the top taekwondo exponent, model exactly what the top taekwondo exponents out there are doing. Model their training, model their mindsed and model their physiology!

I cant agree more with my uncle's mantra to achieve goals in life ---> "decision, planning, execution, follow-thru and finally evaluate, learn and improve"!
